You have to be a bit more objective than that.

I have come from an Incredible, EVO, TP2 and have seen the iphone4 pictures.

I think so far the X has better low light performance than everything aside form the iphone. You also want to make sure you have the phone set to 8MP as default it is at 6MP.

Try messing around with the ISO sensitivity, maybe on auto it is selecting too high of an ISO generating a lot of noise.

The device also does a much better job in macro shots as well than any of the other phones. We are not at point and shoot replacement category yet with any of the phones, namely because all the sensors are nothing more than small 10$ units. But they are light years better than a year ago.
[Droid X General] sasha101:
I had the nexus one and the pictures that came from those were CRYSTAL clear! I loved them. Now these are all blurry and grainy. Im going to upload examples soon. As you can see none of them come out clear and all have a little grain in them
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
My photos look good. Try using it for a day before freaking out. Might be user error.
[Droid X General] sasha101:
What error could it be? Everything is in auto..?
[Droid X General] dB Zac:
Try getting out of the house once in a while. All your pics are indoor, low low light. This is a phone, if you want an all purpose genera, buy a camera
[Droid X General] sasha101:
lmao. I dont stay inside all day.. and I had the nexus one before this and the indoor pictures were great
[Droid X General] area5x1:
You should post Nexus One photos for comparison
[Droid X General] tazzpatriot:
then take the droid x back and get a nexus1 ,, i dont know anyone who buys a phone for the camera lol ITS A PHONE most people buy a phone to talk on it
[Droid X General] nmhforlife:
be happy it works at all. my camera seems busted. all it does is display a black screen when opening any app controlling it. gotta take it back to get it looked at, which means a long line.
[Droid X General] Nodren:
i think it's safe to say anyone who comments on this forum hasn't bought a phone specifically for the purpose of "talking on it" in quite some time.

the real question is when can they create an app that has my phone making me breakfast?
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
I kind of understand what the OP is saying, but he should post pics side by side of the Nexus and X.
[Droid X General] raing:
My DroidX has the exact same problem - black screen on all camera / video apps. I tried factory reset and all, but no use. I took it back to BestBuy and they said they'd replace it once they got their next shipment in (whenever that will be).
[Droid X General] rog152:
Here is a night shot I took with my X
[Droid X General] showson1:
I agree, the camera on this phone isn't all that great, I too get better shots with my N1.

I was aware of this before I bought the phone, seeing all the pictures & videos that've been posted over the past few days, but I decided to go for the phone anyway.

If a camera is a major requirement on your phone I'd get one of the Galaxy S phones, camera is amazing on that.
[Droid X General] radar5:
Glad to hear that :)
[Droid X General] tazzpatriot:
welll i sure didnt buy it for the camera lolo
[Droid X General] nmhforlife:
somehow i woke up this morning and gave it another shot(so to speak) and it worked. i did nothing to change it, just went to sleep. hope yours starts working too...
[Droid X General] Kristoferallen:
i bought it partially for the camera. i didn't buy it because it was the best camera on a phone but it is up there. for in door pictures of yourself, you aren't going to be able to tell if its auto focusing correctly. that is one of the issues with the phone is in door auto focusing. you might want to use a mirror to make sure it does it correctly. the camera button is used to focus then capture. you should see the in door quality on the evo, it is the worst lol. and of course the droid x rapes the nexus one on just about everything so finding one thing the nexus one is better at is no surprise.

the galaxy s phones are a good option but they don't have a flash, so who knows how well it will do depending on how dark it is.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
6mp vs 8mp

Nevermind.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rilasis:
Sorry for the noob question, what are the recovery roms for? Wouldn't you just need a stock to revert to if you messed up the phone royally? Also, where can you find them? I haven't seen the aman-ra anywhere, though people regularly refer to it.

Also, do all of the ROMs listed on the wiki work with 1.47? It doesn't mention the version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h40:
A recovery ROM is what you use to manage full ROMs, you can backup, restore, wipe, mount as USB, all outside of the ROM loaded. These functionalities aren't available from within the system itself.

It's kind of like an advanced BIOS. You can't make a full backup of Windows XP while your IN Windows XP. (ASFAIK)

Edit : Amons recovery is included in all the full root method tutorials. It's called recovery.img
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
So, the recovery is more of a utility than just a backup. Usually you flash what is called the recovery partition with a recovery image. Once you do that, you don't need a computer to get into recovery. Anyway, the recovery does alia you to do a backup and restore, but it is actually the utility that you flash roms with. It also let's you wipe cache and stuff which is critical to flashing your own Rom.

You would use recovery to restore, instead of flashing stock, because it would return your phone to the exact state it was in when you did the backup. You don't lose any settings or apps or anything.

When you root via toast pt 2 you wind up flashing amon recovery. There is also a thread in the dev section with a different version I think, just search amon.

And most roms on the wiki have the newest ota integrated in the Rom, but you should always consult the first post in the roms thread to see more about that.
[HD2 General] Beatkeeper:
Hi i have flashed my phone with the new Artemis_v240_WWE rom, everything went ok, did hard reset etc and phone worked fine, then it locked up after about a hour so i pulled the battery and rebooted, now i cant get past the first white HTC screen with the RGD info at the bottom, it's just stuck!! I have tried to put the usb in and attach it to my laptop but it's still doing nothing?? Please can someone advise me on how to get out of this.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Beatkeeper:

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
did you remember to flash the cooks recommend radio?
[HD2 General] Beatkeeper:

[HD2 General] Beatkeeper:
i am getting to the bootloader screen ok but i cant flash anything cause it's not being seen in active sync?
[HD2 General] conan_t:

[HD2 General] samsamuel:

Trying to text my friend "Luis", and it keeps saying "No match for 'lewis'". Funny thing is, when you go to the how-to on this app, the example listed says, "Text Luis".

Any way I can have this thing auto-correct? Or at least check my contacts for something similiar to what I'm speaking??
[Android Apps and Games] Morghus:
It's included for me with Samsung Apps, so I had the fortune of being able to test it, and at least for me, and the way I talk, it's utter garbage. I think I tried for 15 minutes to make it do a single hit, but all it did was try to call something wildly different :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeriVolk:
Hello Everyone,

I just rooted my G1 and Flashed to CM 5.0.8

When I connect the phone to my computer everything is fine, but when I try to charge it through the USB of the wall charger the phone keeps notifying me if I want to mount the SD to a computer, but its not a computer then the notification turns of, but then the notification reappears. This creates a never ending loop of notification and i would really want to be able to charge the phone from the wall.

Any clue or solutions?

Edit: Never mind, I found the problem. I just got confused with all the usb cables lying around in my room, I was trying to charge from one on my PS3 charging dock, connecting to the htc charger stop the problem

Mods be so kind as to delete this thread
[General Questions and Answers] CanEpia:
How do you prevent the Android Market from re-installing SOME apps after reformatting or installing a new ROM?

I've searched all over and can't find a solution other than don't sign in with your account at the initial start-up. However, this prevents ANY apps from being reinstalled from the backup.

I like the feature and want to use it, but I tested a whole bunch of free apps which were junk and now they keep coming back everytime I flash my phone! I just want a few of the ones I thought were quality apps not everything I've tried.

Please help an Android noob!

[Desire General] Nickedynick:
Right, I finally rooted my Desire today via revoked and would like to remove some of the preinstalled apps. I did try searching, but couldn't find a clear solution.

Basically I want to get rid of calculator, friendstream, peep, footprints and quickoffice. Can I just delete the .apk and .odex files or should I use adb? Also, are these apps integrated with eachother in a way that would cause problems with other apps? Any help would be appreciated :)
[Desire General] xtcislove:
U can delete them, ive do this alway before i flash a rom ;-)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
You have to do it via adb as if you try when the phone is on the apps will just reappear.
[Desire General] Nickedynick:
Cool, so just the files from /system/app then? I'm generally good with this kind of thing on PCs, but never tried it on Android before.

Edit: Thanks for the adb advice too :)

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

Second one:

./adb shell rm /system/app/teeter.apk

After a second try:

./adb shell rm /system/app/teeter.apk

rm failed for /system/app/teeter.apk, Read-only file system
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
By the way, I don't understand why there is not an "app for that" that need root access.

Any problem or impossibility to program that?
[Desire General] codeXcalibur:
You don't have write access to system partition in normal use even if it's rooted, you have to be in custom recovery. or delete it from the downloaded rom and flash it again
[Desire General] VeeDubZ:
nice one for linking to my thread...XD

that works but the better way is to modify the rom pre-install, that way you dont end up with junk information in certain places
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
When I am in Recovery, the device is not detected...
[Desire General] codeXcalibur:
you need to be in custom recovery, not in "normal" htc recovery
[Desire General] Noonski:
And check your spelling when using ADB even the capital letters in files and paths are important.

And have a backup of the original .zip file if your removing the files directly from zip file. I had mine get corrupted and unable to flash forcing me to restore a Nandroid.
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
I guess that the recovery of Unrevoked 3 is a custom recovery ;-)

I flashed a lot of ROMS on my Desire and succed to enter adb on any moment when the device is ON.

Unfortunately, in recovery, no phone detected.
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
I am now in recovery. Finally detected the device but got this message:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's a LOT easier to remove everything before you flash the ROM and then resign the ZIP using the package on here somewhere (that's what I do)

You should be OK removing FriendStream, I leave it in and just remove the widget so dunno if it'd FC the OS, but the other files can just be removed as I also remove them
[Desire General] bradputt:
could you pls point me the thread on how to sign zip files?
[Desire General] D0GuKaN:

dial ##DATA#

EVRC-B

Changed from "disabled" to "enabled"

rebooted

now my download speeds in my house (bad reception) went from .15 to .71

I tested back and forth 3 times in 3 different places, better speeds around the board.

Are there any downsides to this and why is this happening?

Please note, this is NOT the same as the method called "get better reception" that doesn't change what I'm referring to. Could some of you try this and see if you get the same results?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
This is not normal, if you are on custom ROMs make sure you have installed a matching rilphone.dll (plenty of info on this via search)

Also battery calibation is a big concern after flashing custom roms, I always make sure my battery is 100% charged before flashing as from experience found calibration goes a bit off if you have battery partly charged between 50% to 100% & can be a pain to correct. Read Energys notes in any of his ROM threads on battery calibration.

Also on custom ROMs hard reseting after initial setup is good practice & recommended by most chefs.

Last option is you need new battery.
